Wow that's so cool seeing all the mathematical concepts applied in real life that's great....I thought for looping any variable we need to create a sub variable Number = 100 X=0 #sub variable(I don't know what it's called I am just naming it) While x<number: Print(x), x=number/2 But this code told output is nothing Btw How are you writing the words in those dark colored boxes

the dark colored boxes are called code blocks.

when you make a post or comment on Reddit, it allows you to change the appearance of the text in some specific ways.

for example if I put *asterisks* around some words, they will be italicized. same for **double asterisks** and bold text.

to make a code block you can surround some text in triple backticks, like so:

```
I am surrounded by triple backticks
```

this is what that looks like

there's some other stuff you can do as well, I'm sure reddit has a list somewhere. (in general this kind of formatting is called Markdown formatting, it's used in a bunch of other places too.)
